Have I any chance of getting some money refunded?

[fivesacrowd]

DD who is 13 decided last Sept she really wanted to go to France on school trip. So, we've been paying money to school in instalments and paid final balance 2 weeks ago. She's now decided she doesn't want to go and has been sobbing her heart out for last 2 weeks - now no-one can mention holidays or France without setting her off and tbh it's making the whole family miserable.
Made her go and speak to teacher about it today and they've tried to talk her round but I don't think it's made a difference and think she's going to pull out. Holiday booked with PGL and departs in 13 weeks - does anyone know if we'll get any of the money back?
Cost £600 but have feeling if we make her go it'll cost more when I have to fly to France to retrieve her!

Has the school paid the balance yet, it is usually due around 10 weeks prior, or can they fill the place ?

As Lizs has said, school may be able to fill the place so talk to them ASAP if she definitely doesn't want to go. If they can fill it you should get most of your money (if not all) back

do you know why she's decided she doesn't want to go? Has she fallen out with friend/s who will be on the trip, maybe?

I think I'd try to find that out before cancelling

Thanks for replies - she wants to pull out because it's a 24 hour bus trip and she'll miss the rest of us. She's also very into drama and has a part in a show the week she'll be away. Tbh I think she's just not mature enough yet to handle being away for that long. She has been on school trips before but never for more than a week and never too far away for us to drive and get her if we needed to (which we didn't). Have spoken to her and school about whether it could be other girls causing the change of heart but she has a really lovely group of pals who are all gutted that she doesn't want to go. Don't think school have paid balance yet but teacher was a bit vague - have however spoken to mum of one of the girls who didn't get picked to go and she may be able to take her place so hopefully it will sort itself out.
